Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of Xiaoqinglong Decoction combined with Western medicine in the treatment of phlegm-dampness lung syndrome of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods A total of 80 patients with AECOPD syndrome of phlegm-dampness and lung retention admitted to the Linyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to December 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to random number table method, 40 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with conventional treatment, and the observation group was treated with supplemented Xiaoqinglong decoction on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment. Calculate the clinical efficacy of two groups,the cough relief time, asthma disappearance time and wheezing noise disappearance time of the two groups were observed. Levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), peripheral blood interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) before and after treatment. Results The cough relief time, asthma disappearance time and wheezing sound disappearance time in observation group were shorter than those in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP in the two groups were lower than before treatment, and the observation group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the two groups were improved compared with those before treatment, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Xiaoqinglong Decoction can inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors, reduce airway resistance, promote airway unobstruction, improve clinical symptoms and lung function, and improve clinical efficacy in treating AECOPD syndrome of phlegm dampness and lung accumulation.
